8 | ★★ Teletubbie Traverse
A traverse / girdle from the lower slabs of Sugarloaf, across flypaper wall, main wall and eventually finishing at the very top of Sugarloaf itself. Most of the climbing is easy grade 2-6 traversing, with the sections from baghdad to black streak being slightly harder grade 8-10. There are many variations and belay oppertunities but would be best simul climbed. From the lowest slabs, or you can even start from the 'Left Route' and climb up and over some blocks, start traversing 5-10m above the ground until onto the main face. From here trend a bit higher and try hit the bolt on baghdad. From here follow some seems and breaks over Cherry flake and black streak. Follow your nose and you will likely find yourself just above the black streak DBB. After this there is a bit of jungle bashing before a very nice clean streak of rock to the top. Likely done before but recording here for budding adventure climbers. Probably worth 1.5 stars due to novelty and length in a nice position.
